ElasticSearch date format, Error using strict

Question

I am trying to use the strict_date formatter within ElasticSearch which is a a formatter for a full date as four digit year, two digit month of year, and two digit day of month: yyyy-MM-dd.

I am using the following code in Marvel:

PUT my_strictindex
{
  "mappings": {
    "my_type": {
      "properties": {
        "dob": {
          "type": "strict_date"
        }
      }
    }
  }
}

I get the following error:

{ "error": "MapperParsingException[mapping [my_type]]; nested: MapperParsingException[No handler for type [strict_date] declared on field [dob]]; ", "status": 400 }

Any help would be appreciated!

Refer to ES Docs

It should be

{
  "mappings": {
    "my_type": {
      "properties": {
        "dob": {
          "type":   "date",
          "format": "strict_date"
        }
      }
    }
  }
}

Yes I have referred to the docs which include the code you posted but how would I go about adding the strict_date to it? @ChintanShah25

I edited my answer, what version of ES you are using?

Unfortunately that is still not working for me. I am running v 1.6.2 .. could this be the cause?

I think It only works in 2.0, It did not work for me on 1.7 and only 2.0 Doc seems to mention strict format
